Derek1962 50 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The borders are not bad but as stated in a earlier post they are late starters but once they get going they are as good as any terrier,i advise you if you want to go for a bushing terrier stick to a bushing terrier,dont try and get one that works cover and will go to ground as while your out bushing your dogs will go to ground on the first earth he comes to and it always happens when you have no collar on him,i had a border one that was nearly 3 years old before it started but a demon when it did , Quote Link to post
